Wanarnaker's.
Philadelphia, December 81, 1885.

we bought the entire wholesale
stock of Messrs. Riegel, Scott
& Co., retiring from business).
We are now compelled to give
possession of the premises,
No. 333 Market Street, and this
has forced us to move the goods
up to the retail store. Those
who recall the great size of the
wholesale store, built by that
famous old Philadelphia mer-
chant, Morris l.. Hallowell, will
understand what an enormous
stock was to be moved and pro-
voided for somewhere, some
how. We brought it here; but
it crowds us so, that there is
nothing left for us to do but
break from our rule and make
an extra and forced sale. In ten
years we have never done such
a thing but once-threee years
ago.
Our regular sales are always
large, but thepresentemer
requires an extraordinary sale,
as we are utterly unabletoprop-
erly accommodate so many
goods underour roof. Although
we sold many of the Riegel
goods in the wholesale stock, so
many remain that with the sub
sequent purchases we find it
impossible to even store them
we'll in the portions Of the new
building now completed.
The best way out of the diff
Guilty is to sell down; to mark
the goods at such prices thatyou
must take them in justice to
yourselves.
We shall therefore sell from
This wholesale stock and from
our retail stock at special, and
in many instances sacrificing
prices, until we gain the desired
space.
On Monday morning, Janu-
airy 3, 1887, we shall be fairly
ready for the great sale, and will
then offer many of the greatest
bargains in staple and fancy dry
goods and other articles that we
have ever shown.
1t must not be supposed that
every thing we have in the store
will come to the under price !;
the loss then would be too great.
There will be enough to set you
to buying whether you want the
goods or not; and enough to
keep the sale going for many
days, as all the lots can't be
put on the counters at one time.
FIRsT-We shall close out what
is left of
Holiday goods.
Dusty goods from the dis
plays.
Handled and soiled books.
The prices for these are
merely nominal.
SECoND-The Remnant Coun-
ter is simply avalanched
with the ends and leavings
from the large sales of the
past three weeks.
THIRD-The Dress Patterns
with garnitures, in boxes,
are at unexpected figures.
Observation-Disclosures,
silk and linen, at large dis
counts.
Store-keepers, if they are
quick, may get many good lots
which will hel p them to begin a
happy New Year.
We shall tryto deliver every
thing on the day of purchase,
but will not agree to do SO ex-
cept as especially arranged at
the time of sale.
During this sale where par
ties (either individuals or clubs)
in towns within one hundred
miles make purchases to the
amount of $2oo-excepting
Furniture and heavy articles
we will prepay express charges
on the parcels or boxes.
The store Is ready for bust
ness at s A. M. and will close
at 6 P. NJ.
